The main problem with these processes is that they are less environmentally friendly and may impose problems on the environment. Therefore, there is a need to synthesize TiO₂ NPs in an eco-friendly way via a green method. In this study, gambier leaves extract is used as environmentally friendly medium in the green synthesis of TiO₂ NPs. The active chemicals and functional groups of the plant extracts are examined using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The obtained TiO₂ NPs are characterized using ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy equipped selected area diffraction (HRTEM/SAED). The results from the green syntheses are further used as a semiconductor in DSSC device. The highest efficiency of 4.40% is obtained from the TiO₂ NPs synthesized using gambier leaves extract containing 50% acetylacetone, higher than that of commercial TiO₂ NPs (2.83%). These findings provide insight for future sustainability and the possibility to open new door for more environmentally friendly green synthesis of nanomaterials.
